Kiis iska waal is what we call it in my area I’m from southern Somalia

Basically a cocky show off

 

[backgroundISneeded]

clout chaser in Somali language is called caanraadis/iye/iso, caandoon, istus/e/a, ha-la-i-arko and i-arag.

I would’ve said istustus but that’s more like showing off. I like caanraadis more, it’s succinct.

I would agree 'istus' is the correct term. Another word, I hear in political discourse is 'Annaa waa i kan'. In literature 'isxul' is used.
